    Warren drops Hatton legal action

    Warren and Hatton worked together for several years before the split
    Boxing promoter Frank Warren has dropped his legal action against former WBA welterweight champion Ricky Hatton and his father Ray.
    He began the action last September when Hatton signed with rival promoter Dennis Hobson, claiming his deal with Warren's Sports Network had expired.

    But a statement from Sports Network said it had "agreed to discontinue its action against Ray and Ricky Hatton".

    It added that further discussions between the two sides are planned.

    "(These) will hopefully form the basis of a working relationship at some stage in the future," the statement said.

    Hatton's last fight for Warren was on 6 April 2005 when he notched a career-defining win over IBF light-welterweight king Kostya Tszyu.

    The Manchester-based fighter's last two bouts have been promoted by Hobson.

    He beat Carlos Maussa last November and stepped up to welterweight to beat Luis Collazo in May 2006.

    Hatton relinquished his WBA welterweight title on Thursday, having given up the IBF light welterweight crown in April.

    His next contest is set for 6 January, when he will attempt to regain the IBF light welterweight belt from current holder Juan Urango.

    His foray into welter was badly planned and it has scarred him.

    Too short a prep time to step up a division against a big, tricky southpaw CHAMPION.

    In a nutshell.

    Seen as tho ricky is bigger and stronger then mayweather, do you not reckon it wud be a good idea for ricky to get him at a heavier weight as possible?
    Mayweather is some 2 1/2 inches taller than Hatton , and has more reach. , as for Hatton being stronger, I think he is when he is at 140, but I don't think he is at higher weight . If you step back and look at the 147lb division lots of the top guys are 5”9 and up, and could easily hold 168lbs with ease, Hatton has no business getting in a division where he will always be lunging to try and land one shot, its not like the heavyweight division where a lot of the big tall guys are sloth slow. these tall 147 lbers are fast, move well and have excellent stamina. Hatton would be way over his head, its simple mathematics really.

    Ok but look at mayweather. Hes at welter and hes a natural lightweight. I'm tired of hear how hatton couldn't handle the weight. The man walks around at 170. If anything he should feel stronger at 147 cause he don't have to drain as much.Its just funny how floyd can move up 3 classes and be ok but hatton can't even move up one.Collazo didn't give him problems cause hes big he gave him problems cause hatton ain't really a pound for pound fighter. Hes got 1 style and if that don't work then he is all messed up. Thats not pound for pound.
    Step up so I can put you down

    I was wondering that too,is Hatton just a plug forwar type fighter? I ask because I have not seen many of his fights but the ones I have seen,he fights basically the same all the way through although that is not necessarily bad as it has kept his 0 intact!!

    the problem is hattons height hell have a major disadvantage if he goes 147 or above and also his success at 140 was due to his relentless attack and his handspeed which he will lose at any weight above 140 and also with him being so inactive he will lose the ring sharpness he needs

    Mayweather has some height tho 5"8 1/2 ! Hatton is short mate, 5 "6, knee high to grasshopper. weight not the problem its height and reach. how he going to deal with Margarito 5"11 or Williams 6"1 its ridiculous to even consider. lack of height is a huge disadvantage in the lower weight classes , Hatton is very very short, 140 is his best weight . .


    As far as his ability in the ring, I think his record speaks volumes . Hatton is fucking action packed ! he comes to kick ass and take names, Any fight fan will enjoy his non stop aggressive approach . He is a thrill ride !
